QACA is a small organisation consisting of Members and supporters dedicated to saving
the remaining public open spaces around the Quedgeley area.

The History

QACA was started in the late eighties, when the extensive development along Severnvale
Drive was beginning. Quedgeley House was demolished in 1980 and QACA members saved
its gardens, which is now Quedgeley Nature Reserve, adopted and maintained by Gloucester
City Council.

QACA Offering Conservation Grants

We have decided to offer residents/groups and small organisations, grants for conservation
projects within their local area/homes.

Full details are included within the form.

So if you have a conservation project in mind, we may be able to offer assistance
in the costs.

The Parish Council have been given a unique opportunity of taking control of the
local nature reserve from the City Council.

Talks have been ongoing for the last twelve months.

QACA fully support the move, and are in negotiations with the Parish Council, to
help manage the site, including routine maintenance.

This will be a unique opportunity for the residents of Quedgeley to become fully
involved, with a hands on attitude, to enhance the area, like we have never been
able to do before..

If you wish to help in any way. Please contact the Parish Council

This site is dedicated to Jeff Morgan and Michael Orr, founder members of QACA who
are sadly no longer with us.

The Moat

We were recently criticised regarding the poor condition of The Moat and we have
therefore been in contact with the City Council outlining our concerns for the site
which have been acknowledged. We are now working with them to resolve this situation
although given current budgetary constraints this may take a little while. QACA did
originally secure a contribution of £15,000 towards the initial project to improve
the Moat area and we have expressed concerns as to whether or not the work carried
out was to an acceptable standard.

The matter of renaming the Moat has also been raised recently. The area is an Ancient
Listed Scheduled Monument and as such is overseen by English Heritage. They have
categorically stated that renaming The Moat would set a precedent for other monuments
and it would not therefore be allowable. Ordnance Survey has also stated that they
could not support any renaming unless approved by English Heritage.

Help Raise funds for QACA

We currently have two initiatives set up to raise funds.

1. We have an account with a recycling centre, and can send used printer cartridges
to be recycled.

2. If you shop at Amazon or any other leading brand on the Internet, you can raise
funds for QACA simply by shopping through http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk. Simply
log into the web site. Select QACA as your preferred account, then every time you
shop through the site QACA will receive a percentage. We recently received a cheque
for £19.67 from them.
